Look no further than Al Sharpton’s claim that Tywana Brawley was raped by police officers, or the Duke Lacrosse Rape Hoax, or the non- existent innocence of killer Roger Keith Coleman; or even the nonsense notion that incarceration does not reduce crime; All lies.

The point of these lies is always the same: To undermine the moral confidence needed to sustain the law and the institutions that keep us safe.

This is the other side’s goal. As is now unarguably clear, one of their principal weapons is deceit. This is unconscionable, but they seem to get away with it,

“Vigilante” is what Shilling is called by some for tracking down and identifying these cowards who write such vile things about someone under the cover of anonymity. Good for Shilling. I don’t call him a “vigilante.” I call him first and foremost a DAD. Then I classify him as a HERO!

And then there is TWITTER. They should require people who “tweet’ to identify themselves – like many newspapers and television stations require for “comments” to stories? Those media outlets required the ID of the commenters before they would publish their comments because cowards were doing precisely what these slugs did to Curt Shilling’s daughter. Come on TWITTER, Shape up, show some social responsibility!
